Ok, so now the preferred serif font for Chinese has been changed to "Noto Serif CJK {SC,TC}". Please test this, and report any related issues ASAP. I let this bug report remain closed. Let's file new reports if and when it's considered motivated to deal with further changes of the default Chinese

Thanks Yuan Chao. Then I'll make change #1 in the beginning of the 18.04 development cycle, so we have sufficient time to test. As regards #2 it has to be evaluated by the Chinese user community. Let's keep pulling them for now. On 2017-10-12 17:52, Yuan Chao wrote: > 3. I think "prepend" is

To me, 1. This is for sure to go. Noto serif has large glyph coverage and better font (hinting) quality. I think it should go first in the alias. 2. Some old software like adobe flash / youtube (flash must die...) has hard-coded font name in the program. I recall UMing and UKai do some tweaks to

Since Noto now provides also Serif for CJK, I reopened this bug. My questions are: 1. Since Serif fonts are included in fonts-noto-cjk and fonts-noto-cjk- extra, wouldn't it be a good idea to make Noto Serif be the first serif options in the /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-??.conf

fonts-noto-cjk also provides Noto Sans Mono, but not serif. Ok, this attempt at simplifying things may be a "mission impossible". :-/ So we'll keep needing language specific font configuration for CJK, after all. Guess we have to live with the fact that no "perfect" configuration exists, which

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581151] Re: Time to drop 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf?

As said by yuanchao, we need to deal with Serif font faces, especially those commonly used commercial fonts like SimSun (which is free for personal use), and some other fonts that's easy to purchase. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is

For Noto Sans font, it's just for the Sans Serif family. Still for Serif fonts, we still rely on other local font sets. The fallback settings in those fontconfig files should still be needed. Japanese uses Chinese characters but with some variates. That's why a local font is preferred. Noto Sans
